Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ أَنْبَأَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْ الْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَرَمَهُ لَا يُقْطَعُ عِضَاهُهَا وَلَا يُقْتَلُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا أَحَدٌ رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا إِلَّا أَبْدَلَهَا اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا يُرِيدُهُمْ أَحَدٌ بِسُوءٍ إِلَّا أَذَابَهُ اللَّهُ ذَوْبَ الرَّصَاصِ فِي النَّارِ أَوْ ذَوْبَ الْمِلْحِ فِي الْمَاءِ.
English Translation
Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'I declare sacred what is between the two lava fields of Madinah, just as Ibrahim declared his sanctuary sacred. Its thorny trees are not to be cut and its game is not to be killed. No one leaves it out of dislike for it except that Allah will replace him with someone better. Madinah is better for them if they only knew. And whoever intends evil against them, Allah will dissolve him as salt dissolves in water.'
